About event
One of the hottest bands of the Neue Deutsche Welle (at a time when that was not yet a dirty word, but a term for a real change in German music culture) is finally returning to the stage after successful performances on the band's 40th anniversary.
The first appearance since 1982 took place at the end of May 2019 in Hamburg's Hafenklang, which was completely sold out after just one week (!!!).
At the end of the seventies by singer Ziggy XY and guitarist Eckart Kurtz aka E.K.T. founded, the band from Hanover quickly became one of the most important formations in the New German Wave with their experimental, German-language wave sounds. At the time, radio DJ legend John Peel and the music magazine Sounds were among the early supporters of the band, which released two singles and mini-albums as well as their two long players "80 Tage Auf See" (1980) and "Unmodern" (1982), which were released on the cult label No Fun, until their dissolution in 1984.
After the fantastic reunion success, Mattus (vocals), EKT (guitar), Felix (drums) and Jenzzz (bass) agreed that this shouldn't be the last appearance. The old joy of playing was back and the fans really celebrated it - not least because the band had pretty much all the hits from their extensive catalog in their luggage.
DER MODERNE MAN is now supported on drums by Felix's successor Lars Horl and the band is currently working on a brand new album. As a sort of harbinger of this, the EP “45 Years at Sea” will be released in November 2024, which will contain a new recording of four of the band’s classics. “The Unknown”, “Light and Darkness” and “Forgetfulness” come from the debut album “80 Days On See”, “Sinnloz” comes from the same time, but is available here as a studio version for the first time.
Gang Of Four meets Joy Division, paired with the typical German awkwardness of the 80s, which John Peel also loved so much about the band.
